This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, model E12206S, is a reliable and efficient solution for transferring heat between steam and liquid mediums. With a nominal shell diameter of 12 inches, this heat exchanger is designed to handle high volumes of heat transfer. It features a two-pass design, allowing for increased efficiency in the heat exchange process. The tube bundle length is 36 inches, providing ample surface area for maximum heat transfer. The tubes are made of 316 stainless steel, with a diameter of 3/4 inch and a wall thickness of .049 inches. These tubes are fabricated using SA249 TP316 material and have an 18 gauge thickness. The connection type is channel-flanged without cover, ensuring secure and leak-free connections. The tube plate material is grooved 316SS, which enhances the heat transfer efficiency by increasing turbulence in the fluid flow. The separators are made of steel, ensuring durability and longevity in operation. This heat exchanger has a working pressure rating of 150 psi, making it suitable for various industrial applications where high-pressure conditions may be present.
Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers Overview
Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers are equipment used in HVAC systems and various industrial applications for the purpose of transferring heat between two fluids. These exchangers are composed of a large outer shell and an inner tube bundle. The arrangement allows one fluid to flow through the tubes while a second fluid circulates outside the tubes but within the shell. As they pass each other, heat exchange occurs, with the fluid inside the tubes either gaining or losing heat from the fluid in the shell. Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers are noted for their durable construction, effectiveness in heat transfer, and ease of maintenance, including the straightforward process of replacing the tube bundle.
